Pffft.
Janeway didn’t order Tuvix murdered.
She stepped up like a goddamn lady and did it herself.
Recently started playing Star Trek Voyager: Across the Universe. I killed Tuvix, and I’ll do it again on my 2nd play-through.
I got to that part the other day and I was curious to spare him just to see what would happen but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. Did a manual save point and killed him, then reloaded the save and did it again. No regrets.
Yeah, but she could have used the cloning glitch & murdered him twice tho.
Son, we live in a galaxy that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with phasers. Who’s gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Paris? I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for Tuvix and you curse the Federation. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know; that Tuvix’s death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, SAVES LIVES. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You need me on that wall. We use words like honor, prime directive, loyalty. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said “thank you” and went on your way, Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a phaser and stand a post. Either way, I don’t give a DAMN what you think you are entitled to!
Honestly, could be TNG monologue.
Admiral Marcus gave Kirk the whole “War is coming! And whose going to win it, YOU??” diatribe in Into Darkness.
Is this a sector 32 speech? I can’t find the original.
I think it’s Jessup’s speech on A Few Good Men with words swapped for star trek universe ones.

Janeway did nothing wrong.
She saved neelix.
Honestly, I could’ve gone either way on Neelix. Tuvok was cool, though.
The real crime.
Didn’t she like, assist the borg in committing genocide?
She didn’t have her coffee she can’t be held responsible.
True, but Janeway could have done a lot better too - she should have shot Tuvix on sight, before any explanation was given (given the chance Tuvok would have understood and agreed to the sacrifice).
Rip that flower tho.
AND I’D DO IT AGAIN!
“If it wasn’t for those meddling temporal offficers.”
A few issues with this.
Firstly, I’m pretty sure I remember doing it herself.
Secondly, I don’t think she’d need to be pressured into a shouting match. She’d just say it. “Yes, I did it. It was a tough call to make, but I had to make it.”
While I agree with you on what canonical Janeway would do, “A Few Good Men” (in which the senior officer does yell during the climax) is a fun movie to parody with Trek situations.
There is a reason why the Starfleet leadership promoted Janeway to be a desk Admiral and get her as far away from the Chair as possible.
Oh but Janeway wanted to be a desk admiral. She was quite clear about it in one episode; when she gets back home she’ll accept the promotion and be done commanding a ship.
I read that in Chrisjen Avasarala voice.
Tuvix is actually about abortion rights. A creation from two different people who removes both of them from their previous existence, who some extremists claim should have a right to exist despite his ultimately parasitic nature.
/s kind of but not really
I put off watching this movie for so long, but it’s surprisingly great.
